I'd like to introduce "The Altered States" series

Altered States: Backyard Toad

I have been really enjoying going out and taking pictures, editing, and creating digital art with my photos.

It is a very satisfying feeling to do something you are really into and right now, this is what I'm into!

This fella was hanging out near our house. I saw him and rushed to grab our Z7. I'm glad he didn't run away and I was able to grab a few shots

Original photo...

F-Stop	Exposure Time	ISO	Focal Length	Flash
f6.3	1/160s	400	36mm	NO

I have been making some Lightroom presets for myself to make things easier for quick editing. After I applied one of my presets...

I took the image from Lightroom and loaded up Photoshop. I then added my special filters to give it the official "Altered States" look. The final image is the main post image. I think you should to view it on a larger screen to do it justice.

Let me know what you think!

Until next time, with big love from me...
